whats up w/ bose? i loved it when i had G coupe..

 

yes sir!

 

ok.. i just check out 2008 350z base and it has a big *** dent on rear fender and paper work was not updated..lol i was like wtf!

 

It actually sounds pretty good in my G sedan, but it sounds like total crap in my Z.

 

DO NOT GET AN 06!! You will regret it. Just read the oil consumption thread - you don't want to deal with that sh*t - TRUST ME. I just sold my black revup, now I drive a truck

 

omg... i didnt knew that... ouch........

 

can u plz link me the "oil consumption" tread.. i could not find.. i did search for it... [

Obviously I can only speak for mine, but I have never had a single issue with oil consumption. I took the upper plenum off the other day and it was bone dry!

 

dayum... didnt know about that.. so not all 2006 has that problem huh?

 

Not at all. And many of the ones that do have the issue are able to easily resolve it with a simple catch can. Now watch, if you go buy this one and it will be a lemon. Then you will come back and tell me what a jackass I am.

 

lol i am gonna go to nissan tom.. to check 370z base if i can get it for msrp i am down for 370 if not... gonna go for 350 gt.. thx for reply jekl1000 u rock lol

 

I think the BOSE in our ZR rocks. The non-BOSE in my coupe (Performance version) is complete pooh.

BTW, don't go for MSRP on the base 370, start at $2.5k UNDER MSRP, then negotiate towards MSRP from there. Remember they have a 3% holdback. Do your homework, make sure you have the actual value (invoice minus holdback) that they paid for that vehicle in your head or written down. Anything you pay above that is their profit - which they're entitled to - but you should be able to land it under MSRP "sticker". If it's a complete base, it cost them $27,900, and I stand by my earlier comment that I'd bet they'd happily take under $30k ($29,400 - $29,900).

 

cool.. didnt know about 3% holdback.. i got info from http://www.edmunds.com/advice/incent...ack/index.html
but Nissan has 2% of the Total Invoice thx scotts300 for good info

 

i vouch for 08 HR!

it's easier to make up for what the base is lacking. And when you do, u got a Z which is better than a GT.
The most important thing is you-got-the-HR!

 

ive had both de and hr and i say its a big difference, not looking at just the peak power but the power delivery and how far into the revs it continues to make power. It would take a more than a few boltons excluding nitrous to attain times some HR guys have ran in stock form, you can just tell by the stock 1/4 mile times . plus the hr seems to be more mod friendly compared to the de. Back to the 1/4 mile times for example Veetec hope he doesnt mind , just look at his best run with his de and best hr run half a second and 3 extra mph is a big difference

and me personally when it comes to the "blows" sound system ,leather seats and track wheels.Only thing thats worth it are the brembo brakes , but the rest are things you would change when you start modding and customizing your car to your own taste but many people like to keep their cars stock so i understand but the performance difference was what sold me on it, but thats just me. and no im not bashing the de because ive had one and believe that its a very good and capable motor and has proven to be so in many builds on this site

 

yeesh, your girls got a fat a$$...No wonder later models needed the extra 20 hp (287 hp / 306 hp), comparable 2003 and 2008 touring cars have a 150 lb difference...

 

I thought they used to be 3% of invoice, which I may have wrong, but yes, I see now they are 2% of TOTAL invoice, so that includes all the options. One note - most dealerships will squak, cry,hand wave, and maybe even deny it exists, if you ever bring up holdback. When you offer a price AT or a few 100 over invoice and they say, "we can't take that because we don't make any $ on it" you can smile and QUOTE how much they are getting from the 2% of total invoice holdback. I've used it before, and they usually say, "we don't negotiate into holdback", but I've seen it happen before (on a 2002 Maxima I temporarily bought).

 

Drive the cars and buy the one that you like the best.

If your ego needs to make up for other inadequacies, then make sure you get the HR. Even then, you will most likely think your member is too small so you'll want the 370Z.

2006
Bose system: Good for listening to music. Maybe inadequate if you like to wake up 1/2 the county with loud base. Downside is that there is no buit in mp3 or iPod jack. I installed an iPod interface that works great however.

Track Wheels: Look good and reasonably light for their size. Downside is that buying rubber for those sizes is expensive.

Brembo brakes: Nothing but good.

Cruise: I wouldn't be without it.

Heated leather seats: Nice but not necessary.

Rev-up motor: Stock intake is very good. Downside is the small risk of oil consumption problems. Another possible downside is that if you want to add a plenum spacer you also need to change the lower plenum.
